The Stanford Prison Experiment03:20

The Stanford Prison Experiment

23.2K
The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.3K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

346
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Obedience01:08

Obedience

32.9K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.2K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Forensic Science

Background:

  • Developmental dyslexia involves persistent reading and writing deficits into adulthood.
  • Dyslexia correlates with academic underachievement and behavioral issues, including criminal activity.
  • This study focuses on reading comprehension in adults with personality disorders within a prison population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate reading comprehension differences between individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD).
  • To analyze reading errors in relation to criminal behavior within a prison setting.
  • To understand the impact of personality disorders on cognitive processes like reading.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected from 194 participants (81 ASPD, 113 OCPD) in a prison.
  • Interviews for demographic, criminal, and behavioral data.
  • Utilized International Examination for Personality Disorders, Symptom Inventory, and Battery for the Assessment of Reading Processes.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in reading skills observed between ASPD and OCPD groups.
  • OCPD group demonstrated poorer performance in lexical selection, semantic categorization, grammar, and expository comprehension.
  • Conversely, the OCPD group showed superior narrative comprehension compared to the ASPD group.

Conclusions:

  • OCPD group exhibited slower lexical-phonological coding and phonological activation.
  • Reading comprehension patterns differ notably between ASPD and OCPD.
  • Findings contribute to understanding cognitive profiles in personality disorders and their potential link to behavior.
